Few people really enjoy making decisions. Heck, a lot of couples sit around bickering about who should decide what to eat for dinner that night (I know my girlfriend and I do!). But bigger decisions require more planning and more thinking, and some of us just don’t like that.

Let Simon Decide is designed to be the solution to our problems. Using algorithms and generally a bunch of stuff I don’t understand, Let Simon Decide will help you reach a conclusive decision. First, you create a free account. Then, enter your problem and the various options that you have to solve that problem. The site will then walk you through the decision-making process and help you reach a firm, decisive answer. The testimonials on the site show that a good number of people are enjoying this, and it was even recently mentioned on Lifehacker, which is every geek’s dream (including mine).

Have you tried Let Simon Decide, or do you have another way of going about it? Let us know in the comments!

Feel like you’re just not getting anything done? I’ve felt like that all week. You work, but at the end of the day, you can think of about 18 things you should’ve had done by now. *sigh*

Well, Leo Babauta and the gang over at Zen Habits have once again answered our questions. Here’s a list of things you can do when you are struggling to get going. My favorite:

4. Make it easy. Discipline is tough because whatever the task or habit you’re trying to do is tough. Instead, make it easy. Remove barriers. Having a hard time exercising? Make it ridiculously easy, by only exercising for 5 minutes. What use is exercising for 5 minutes? You’re creating the habit, not getting yourself into shape overnight. The 5 minutes of exercise will have only a tiny impact on your health, but it makes exercise super easy. If you can do that 30 days in a row, you now have an exercise habit. Hate waking up early to go to the gym? Do it at home. Do it during lunch or after work.

As always, it’s useful, and since it’s on this site, it’s practical, too. Definitely worth a read! Do you have any tips? Share them below!
